Ok, not so random second time but definitely way off topic. |

"I usually pronounce it fun-Gus if it's singular and fun-guy if it's plural.
 same here and I used to work for a damp proofing company we had to deal with different types of fungi a lot. "
Should I give my lecture on the use of Latin plurals now or save it for another day? |

"I usually pronounce it fun-Gus if it's singular and fun-guy if it's plural.
yep same here - but the more im thinking about it the more im wondering  "
It's not wrong for the plural to be funguses (following normal English rules for pluralisation), fungi is the plural if you follow Latin rules for pluralisation, which is acceptable and correct practice in English to. Fun-gay would not be correct as the plural of fungus in English because it's just not and incorrect following Latin because that's not how the noun Fungus would be declined in Latin. |

I pronounce can't carnt. I drink out of a glarss but my windows are made of glass, I swim on a barth but wash in a bath. I guess I'm just a very confused individual.   |
